What we are trying to do?

We are attempting to mobilize the creativity and innovative capacities of
the Linux and broader open source community to codify the universe of
preexisting inventions in defensive publications that upon publication in
the IP.COM database will immediately serve as effective prior art that
prevents anyone from having a patent issued that claims inventions that
have already been document in a defensive publication. In addition to
creating a vehicle to utilize this highly effective form of IP rights
management for known inventions, it is hoped that the community will use
defensive publications as a means of codifying future inventions should the
inventors prefer not to make their invention the subject of a patent
disclosure and application.
